Northern Light Media
Northern Light Media produces books and videos about sled dog racing in Alaska: the Yukon Quest, the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and the All Alaska Sweepstakes.

"Appetite and Attitude: A Conversation with Lance Mackey" is a 45 minute HD DVD about the world's preeminent long distance sled dog racer - and a living Alaskan legend! In 2007 - and again in 2008 - Lance Mackey made racing history when he won two 1,000 mile races back-to-back, the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod, with most of the same dogs - an incredible feat of endurance, long considered almost impossible. In February, 2008 Lance won an unprecedented fourth Yukon Quest title, also winning the Veterinarian's Choice Award for excellence in dog care throughout the 1,000 mile race.

In March 2009 Lance Mackey secured his third Iditarod title, and in 2010 he's going for a fourth!

Lance, a cancer survivor, comes from a family of sled dog racing champions. His father Dick Mackey helped create the world's most famous race, the 1,049 mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, in 1973. Five years later his father won that race by one second in a world-famous photo finish. Lance's brother Rick also won the race, in 1983, wearing bib number 13 - the same number worn by Lance in 2007, and their father in 1978!

Lance, his wife Tonya, and their family make their home - Comeback Kennels - near Fairbanks, Alaska. In this video Lance talks about his dogs, his races, his family legacy and his dreams for the future!

"Lance is a storyteller's dream. Talking to Lance is hearing about life's possibilities and dreams and how to make them happen." ~Donna Quante, Producer, "Pretty Sled Dogs"

"If you want to listen and, in some cases feel a part of a one-on-one dialogue with a true champion, this video is a must have." ~Mike Dillingham, Rivers Books, author, "Diary of a Blind Alaskan Sled Dog"

"Pull up a chair and listen to what Lance Mackey has to say!" ~June Price, author of "Backstage Iditarod"

"Lance is a storyteller's dream. Talking to Lance is hearing about life's possibilities and dreams and how to make them happen. The fact that his dogs love him and he loves them is just icing on the ca" - Anonymous (4/26/2008)
